Where is the best place to invest in Buy/Hold SFRs?

[Nathaniel Donnelly]

Hello again all!

I am the owner of 3 SFRs in San Diego (buy and hold strategy) and I am looking to buy my 4th property ASAP.  Unfortunately, it looks like I just missed with prices over the last few months and everything within my budget (~$250k) here in San Diego is all bought up aside from fixer-uppers, which I don't have the money to put into.

So now I am asking everyone out there (preferably still within driving distance, but whatever) WHERE is the best place to invest right now in SFRs using a buy and hold strategy?

Anyone have any thoughts on this or links to some research?

Thanks again!
